How cool is that?! AntennaPod creates a summary and stats of my year listening to podcasts directly on my device without sending it to the cloud!

My year 2024 in podcasts.

Shit, there's a home assistant podcast? I didn't need to know that

I've not heard of self hosted or ask Noah.

What are they about?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Love the self hosted podcast, they talk about various experiences they've had (be it good, or bad) while trying to stop relying on big tech companies. They also try to bring projects to the spotlight and help people find cool openscource solutions. They get some fun guests in there as well.

Yes , I am the type fuck corporations , and let's support good companies. Like Valve not perfect but better than the rest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I am very partial to valve myself, while they aren't perfect, I am not immune to propaganda, and own 3 valve shirts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Self hosting , Linux and Open source.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Are you me? Pretty much the same except with Late Night Linux added.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Currently binging the backlog as we speak. They just hit Covid lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There's a lot of different podcasts in the whole LNL package if you subscribed to the Ad-free feed. It's 7 different shows and a few of them are over 200 episodes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I listen to the Late Night Linux too lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Antennapod is highly underrated, even among Foss community. I have been enjoying it for 6 years and never cared for alt.

Of course it has yearly summary feature, along with hour counts etc.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I came here to steal new podcasts, so I'll leave mine as well lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By the titles I have no idea what are those podcasts about lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Dollop is an American history podcast. Each week...

Both that and Behind the Bastards are podcasts on history stuff. Dollop trends more towards comedy while reading about terrible things to lighten the mood. Dave reads to Gareth (most of the time) who hasn't heard the thing before, and plays off his reactions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

If one likes The Dollop, would they like BTB? I've been listening to the dollop for a few years now and always here BTB mentioned

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Love to see The Dollop!

If you like movies I recommend checking out The Rewatchables if you haven't already.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Usually just binge an older podcast. I already completed HoP and HoP: Indian, Africana and Chinese, and now I'm with Citations Needed. Philosophy This only play when I accidentally start an episode lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it's great!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It's heavily affected by the fact that I used to listen to After the Revolution to fall asleep (in a good way! It's a great book and Robert Evans' voice is soothing IMO), but here's mine:

I listened to a ton when I bike to and from work. 40 minutes gets like 2 episodes a day, plus when I am at work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Love to see MBMBaM!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I love the app, but the summary was kind of shit 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Does anyone else use this with Android Auto?

Love that app, but can't get it to resume my podcast when I get in the car. Music works fine, the old Google podcasts worked fine, but I've never gotten it to work with antenna pod.

What is the Home Assistant podcast like? More developer focused or end user or what?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's end user focused, they have different segments like going through the monthly release notes and talking about them a bit from their perspective and they have often guests. The guests sometimes are random users with a interesting setup and they talk about that setup where you can get a lot of ideas. Other times they invite some of the developers or project managers from the project to talk about some new features or plans.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Great thanks! I downloaded a couple of episodes to listen to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Here's my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I'm guessing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Idk, I miss the Google Podcast app so much. Nothing else has come close for ease of use and car integration

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wonder when they'll have clients for desktop or other OS, that way I could ditch Pocket Casts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What's wrong with Pocket Casts?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

~~Not open source.~~

Edit: sike, it is

Their freemium model fooled me, it is indeed open-source

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They went to a subscription model for using the desktop app... If we could buy it at once as it was possible before I wouldn't even be looking for alternatives, but I despise subscriptions.

Funnily enough (although I haven't looked thoroughly) I couldn't find a way for this yet 🏴‍☠️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I thought I could synchronize what I was listening to and where I stopped with gpodder.net but this never worked because I never understood how to use it, even though I logged in on both desktop and phone, so I had to give up the idea of listening on the desktop and I only listen on the phone. If I am at home I sometimes connect to a Bluetooth speaker to have a nicer experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I ended up using the nextcloud gpodder sync app, works a treat, there's even a nextcloud app for listening to podcasts in your browser, so I use that for desktop use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I also use Nextcloud gpodder - it's been set and forget in my case, very easy. Use Kasts on desktop, and AntennaPod on my phone.

Love this app!

Does anyone know how to totally disable the Queue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Any good recommendations for someone into:

  • German (slice of life, politics?)
  • UK politics? (Jimmy the Giant style, please)
  • World History
  • Curious Android style Tech and Engineering?
  • Linux, but lwn-style not Linus-tips style?
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

For Tech maybe TechAltar and ColdFusion.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

For Linux I can recommend Ask Noah Show , Linux Unplugged , Linux Matters and Destination Linux.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

'The Rest is History' is how I've been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

For tech, check out Hard Fork.
